[VAC] Re: WBCCI membership revisited

["Edward Emerick" <EEMERICK@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,
I believe that the WBCCI would be interested in making changes to the
Blue Beret if those that are interested in change would make the time
available to help that along. I don't believe that the writers of the
articles are paid for their efforts and some of those are very good. I
know that I enjoy the articles by Fred Ettline (Phred Sez, it was very
cool to meet him at last year's International at Culvers!) and Bob
Phillips (Hints & Kinks for the B-190 Motorhome and I don't even own
one!)The intra club articles for the Free Wheelers, Vintage Club (even
though it could make more of an impact but I don't have time to write
it) and the Full Timers or Free Wheelers (I've met member of both clubs
and the seem like fun people) are also enjoyable at times. The
advertisements from Airstream dealers and suppliers have helped me find
parts and services I might need. Read the President's corner, you might
get an idea in how to support you local Unit or just learn something
about the workings of the WBCCI or the mind of the current International
President. Most of all the cover has some cool Airstreaming photos and
they are always begging for photos to add to the inside.

You out there can change what is offered to you by the club (WBCCI), you
just have to take the time and help make change. Join the WBCCI, support
their efforts (you don't have to agree with everything but if you look
hard enough there is a lot of good to the organization). Support you
local Unit and the WBCCI, if it dies so does the tradition that started
the VAC. It is up to us to make change, make this club what you want
from it. Get involved and complain from the inside not the outside.
